This is pretty much how I was feeling when I made this post ! I struggle a lot with the try not to be an asshole part. I mean how do you get into a discussion with somebody and then try to explain that you're leaving said discussion because they don't have a damn clue what they're talking about nicely? I don't think being nice matters though, or maybe I just meet salty people. Either way it normally ends in me being called a bitch, lame for watching the news or my favourite politically correct. It's my favourite because they thought that term meant either somebody who is correct about politics or somebody who corrects falsehoods about them. It took me a while to understand how they came to that "insult" until I realized that the only possible way is if they had no idea what it meant. I too hope it dies out but I have my doubts as well.
